'just bloody scrap it' - the eBay 'fuck me, what were they thinking' thread

[Aston Martin]

just how fucked does your e-type need to be that you consider it worthwhile to ship that pile of ferrous oxide over?

 

All you have to do is ship the vin over...

I'm inclined to watch this.

Now that's at least one of my major concerns out of the way.

 

 

 

What exactly is there left to put onto a trailer or recovery truck?

It will simply rill through the gaps.

Worth every penny of that for Stanky to rape the ID off it for his Jape

It's fucked, big style.

[bunglebus]

Too much sunshine and ganja, I guess.

 

Chuck it in the sea, the coral will love growing on that.

[Junkman]

A coral high on dope maybe.

So I don't have to swim over and be thrown a bunch of planks, nails and a hammer upon arrival?

Good.

There was an E type stolen in London last year and not recovered I guess this will be used for a chassis number restoration....

[ProgRocker]

Now I'm no mechanic but this one looks beyond economical repair to me (correct me if I'm being too pessimistic). It actually runs though.

 BMW 520 E28 Fitted 2.4 diesel engine 

 

The radiator was from a Ford Granada.

[sierraman]

When you are looking to a Granada as a source of a diesel engine things are pretty despacito.

BMW is a bargain at £78

[sierraman]

I'm not sure, everything on it apart from the engine is fucked. And even that might be fucked as well.

 

It'll not go for £78, it will go for much more even though its scrap.

[Aston Martin]

I don't need air vents thank you. (Internally or externally)

It's a BMW diesel.

Some fool will pay 800 quid plus for that. It's not even worth bidding for E28's anymore, stupid money. They were much better 20 years ago when they were unrotten, everywhere and £500.

[sierraman]

Crazytown. £800 for what? Some ferrous oxide, a fucked mouldy interior and a probably bollocksed engine. Its not even like its an M535i or a nice 525. Tip fodder.

[cort16]

1500 quid 

 

 

 

Good solid shell

 

 

 

It does have the usual rust as expected

They're fucked when they look immaculate, what's a fucked looking one going to be??

[Junkman]

That tree must have come down in the Great Storm of 1987.

[vulgalour]

That's the most spectacularly fucked MG I've seen that still has glass in it.  Deserves to be preserved in aspic and sold as high art, tbqh.

[MorrisItalSLX]

If it was an MGB I would be on team scrap it. But as it is an MGC, I think it would have some value, if only to rape the engine and running gear (and the vin plate TBH).

New one on me that. Never knew 3000cc straight 6 mg existed... quick Google reveals Prince Charles had one you know... which he gave to Prince William.

[Junkman]

So it might be out in the streets tomorrow?

Somebody has created another listing for it, using the same main photo, purely to trash the seller's description:

 

"the seller who is selling this car on here is totally misleading you.

My father knows this car it was on the road for over 10 years it has bean around the clock and has done way over 100.000 miles. The engine was tired breathing heavy. Smoking. And jumps out of 3rd gear. The car was very rusty when it was written if so was not worth fixing.

I have informed the current seller of the errors in his discription. But he has not replied. Or corrected the listing. He is not intrested

For starters any one can do a tax check which shows the car was still taxed in. 1979

So saying the car was only on the road for 3 years is totally misleading. It was on the road for over 10 years

See photos of tax history for proof"
